  • Version Numbers
    • Version numbers are three digit numbers in the form x.y.z:


      Major Version (First Digit)
      This number is incremented only after a major change to the NeXtMidas baseline.
      The last time this number was incremented was after the 1.8.X release when support for Java 1.1 (required to run applets in Netscape 4.7) was dropped.
      Minor Version (Second Digit)
      Identifies a release series.
      Indicates type of release:
      • Even Value - Indicates a stable series.
      • Odd Value - Indicates a beta series.
      Update (Third Digit)
      For stable releases this is used to identify subsequent "bug fix releases" made to patch bugs found in the stable release.
      Periodic releases of beta releases are made, for each release the update is increased by one.
